We've spent many a mile challenging the nation's coasters on the Coast-2-Coast Coaster Tour ( www.darkstudios.com/c2c ) and have taken many photos in the process of losing our lunches. Some of these are featured in our photo gallery. We'd like to see your stills of rollercoasters in action - just be sure to give yourself credit for snapping the pics!

    I'd give you some coaster pics, but all the ones I had were taken with your camera, so you already have 'em. :) In two weeks' time (woo-hoo!) I'll be taking more pictures of Vegas coasters Desperado, Manhattan Express (which I've never ridden but I hear is *amazing*) and maybe the one at Circus Circus, if Katie can drag me kicking and screaming into the Dome of Clowns. :shudder:

    I'll pass on "Speed: The Ride" again this trip.

      You know, I don't think the one at CIrcus Circus (who's name I don't remember - there were lots of dinasours, though!) would be worth your fear. We'll skip it! It would be like you trying to get me to ride the Big Shot - just not *ever* happening!

      Don't pass up Speed - its not that bad, quite a neat ride.

      and Manhattan Express is well worth your while, much more terrifying than Speed!

      I think all of your coaster pics were of me in said coaster. : )

        Is Manhattan Express scarier than Desperado? I don't think I've ever been more scared on a coaster than on that thing! Very thrilling, but I kept feeling like I was going to fly out of the car (the coaster would leave the track entirely) and sail into Buffalo Bill's parking lot.

        If I have the extra $$ and we're at the Sahara, I might consider Speed. I think the ride was... what? Like 15 seconds or so?

        And you're probably right, I think all the pics I took *were* of you. You would have gotten all the coaster shots and cool angles and stuff. I'll practice that when I'm out west and send you the best of the bunch.

      A word of warning regarding "Manhatten Express" - take your glasses OFF, and leave them with a non-rider! I used to tuck mine down my shirt. When I got off M.E., I couldn't find them - the ride twisted and turned and flipped and SPED so nmuch that my glasses ended up in the waistband of the BACK of my shorts! Lesson learned. :)

    Okay, dood, we're in Las Vegas right NOW... anything in particular you want pictures of? Do you know if there's anything new out here that you don't have yet?

    Of course, at the moment it's raining. :( May have to save picture day for tomorrow...

      It's RAINING in VEGAS? Lordy, get pictures of THAT! : )

      I don't think any new coasters have popped up there - but I'd love a picture of the Manhattan Express with the skyscrapers in the background!

        Okay, we'll take care of that in the morning! Oh crap, it IS morning...

        Yep, rained practically all day here. A staff member at our hotel said they hadn't had any bad weather for three months. Hmmph. The rain very kindly stopped earlier this evening, and is not just nice and cold. Should be perfect picture weather tomorrow!

          Er... the line above should be "and is now just nice and cold," replacing "and is not just nice and cold." Just goes to show you really shouldn't post at 4 in the morning!
